Overall, the tale of Rafael Montero is one of unfulfilled potential.  Since at least 2014, the Mets have been tantalized by that potential, and they have given him chance after chance to succeed in the majors.  Their reward this year is Montero struggling yet again going 0-2 with a 9.45 ERA, 3.600 WHIP, and a 10.8 BB/9.

In his wake, Montero has left behind a number of Mets pitchers.  Some are gone because they were needed to be traded to bulk up the 2015 team to make a postseason run.  Others are simply gone because the Mets valued Montero higher than them.  The Mets were right in some instances, and wrong in others.  Can you name the 32 pitchers who have pitched in the majors since Montero’s call-up in 2014 that are no longer a part of the Mets organization?  Good luck!
